Advanced Technologies Improve Gasification Systems, Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
WASHINGTON--Today, as part of the Administration’s all-of-the-above energy approach, the Department of Energy has selected four projects to receive funding for next-generation gasification systems that also reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Awardees will receive approximately $16 million to advance the gasification process, which converts carbon-based materials like coal into syngas for use as power, chemicals, hydrogen, and transportation fuels.
One of the award winners is:
Alstom Power Inc. (Windsor, Conn.) — Alstom’s Limestone Chemical Looping Gasification Process for High-Hydrogen Syngas Generation. Research conducted under this program aims to develop Alstom’s limestone-based chemical looping gasification (LCL-G™) concept for conversion of coal to high-hydrogen syngas for power generation and/or liquid fuel production. Working in collaboration with NewCO2Fuels Ltd., and the Illinois Clean Coal Institute, the LCL-G process will be evaluated and refined using bench-scale testing followed by process validation at Alstom’s 3-megawatt (thermal power) chemical looping test facility. A techno-economic assessment of the LCL-G technology for power and/or syngas generation will be conducted to demonstrate that the system has the potential to meet DOE cost and performance goals.
